Boston is a city with rich history, incredible sports (#5Rings), strong culture, different ranges of cuisine, and amazing accents that no southerner can compare to. If your from the west coast or another country there is no doubt you need a Bostonian in your life.

We are passionate people. From our dominating the NFL #TB12, MLB, NHL, NBA and so much more the fans really know how to show appreciation to the teams keeping Boston on the map. For instance this super bowl with all odds against New England they still came back in the 2nd quarter and brought the trophy home. Nevermind Tom Brady's famous 5 rings and Julian Edelman's legendary catch. With energy pumped up, fans still risked fingers and toes in the extreme wind and snow to catch a glimpse of the players, trophy and of course duck boats.

1. When you mess with one of us you mess with all of us.

Ever heard of a little thing called the Boston Marathon bombing? Yeah? #BostonStrong Enough said.


2. We are wicked smaht.

Try Harvard, MIT, Yale, Brown, and Dartmouth smart just to name a few. We are also home to Simmons, Wentworth, MassArt, Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern, Berklee, Emerson, Suffolk, Emmanual, Fisher, Wheelock, Tufts, Lasell, and many many more.


3. Italian and Irish decent.

You will never go home hungry due to the 4-course meals plus second helpings and we will insist that you take home leftovers, so just take the damn leftovers we have enough in our fridge.


4. We are great drivers.

You try and drive on the highway during rush hour in 7-10 feet of snow with only front wheel drive. Even if the speed limit says 55 mph we really mean you better be going 65 mph in the right lane aka slow lane or just get off the highway we don't have time to deal with you. Plus have you ever seen a map of Boston? Say less.


5. We accept everyone... almost.

Massachusetts is the first ever state in the Union to legalize gay marriages for nearly a decade now. Unless you are a Yankees fan you can stay. Beat that New York.


6. We are healthy.

We are the city that can beat cancer and cure that nasty rash you have all in one day. From Boston Children's Hospital to Lahey clinic our "bad hospitals" are another cities good ones. So if you get the flu this season you friend from Boston knows exactly where to take you.


7. Don't know how to pronounce a town name?

It's wicked easy for a Bostonian. For example Leominster it's pronounced lemon-ster. Not Leo-Minster. Another example is Billerica like Bill-rick-a. You got this. This goes back to navigation so don't you worry you will get from point A to point B in about 30 minutes.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
